I told Akira to go.

Again?

He did very well.

I wouldn't know what to do without Akira.

I suppose.

But... you must remember this.

A remarkable secretary will make his boss look bad.

Are you okay?

It's you. Your coat is still with me. Do you still remember me?

Don't you remember me?

The coat?

Wait for me. I'm going to get it for you.

What happened?

It's nothing.

It doesn't seem "Nothing" at all.

I'm returning this to you. Thank you for your coat.

Did you just come back from work?

I want to go to the town to take a look.

Join me? Give me five.

Every person sways when the wind blows.

It's not wind,

but a storm.

Wow, you surprised me.

What's wrong? Don't tell me you are interested in NaNa-san.

How can I be? I hate the type who is ignorant.

Then why?

There are many things that happened lately and Takeshi seems more cheerful.

I suppose.

Buy one, get one free.

Is this pretty?

Come here now.

Welcome.

How much is this?

It's 700 yen.

It's too expensive. Tell her.

I'm sorry, but could you give us a discount?

Sorry, I'm afraid we can't.

Don't you know how to bargain?

Cheaper.

You really can't reduce the price for this?

This is already "Buy one and get one free."

No.1 Popular Item! br Buy one, get one free

Hi, good looking guy.

Thank you for reducing the price for me. This is for you.

What did you say earlier?

Discount in Chinese is...

You are asking what's the word for bargaining in Chinese, right? It's "tao jia huan jia."

"Tao jia huan jia?"

"Tao... jia... huan... jia".

"Tao... jia... huan... jia."

Okay.

If you go to China for holiday, I will be your guide. Okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Okay. Let's go.

Did we run just to see this? Just for this?

It would have been such a pity if the sun had already set.

You can come here again tomorrow.

You're too busy. Take it a little slow.

How do you say "busy" in Chinese?

"Mang."

- Slow? br - "Man."

Those words sound the same in Chinese.

"Mang," "Man."

No. "Busy" is "man."

Slow is "mang."

You are too "mang." Take a little "man."

Perhaps, if you walk slow, too,

you will lose something even more important.

Precious thing? Like what?

Buy one, get one free.

It has already been five years.

Why am I like this?

After all this time

I'm waiting for you

My dear, you know that you're

the reason to my happiness, you are

I was clearly feeling sad but could be that I was too busy at that time

and I felt like I suffered.

I can't be like the people here who live such a slow pace of life.

Do I feel blamed?

This time there's no...

That's right.

It's only when I've been falsely blamed or taken advantage of that
